How many modelers check for a gap of .005 to .015 (I assume) inches.
Working with wood, the goal is for the glue to soak into the wood a bit. Making the last 1/16 inch or so of the wood pieces an integral part of the total glue joint. Foam would be similar depending on the specific type of foam. Something like glass or metal sheets, yes. A very thin layer of adhesive would be necessary. There is no single rule for everything. The materials and glue type all play into it. One of the things you learn in this hobby. But don't listen to someone with 61 years experience of sticking their fingers together.
